NieR: Automata's spinoff аниме ушул январь айында келет

NieR: Автоматтар anime spinoff will arrive early next year. The adaptation, now titled NieR: Automata Version 1.1a, will debut in January 2023. NieR creator Yoko Taro shared the release window during Aniplex Online Fest over the weekend (via Gizmodo), revealing at the same time that the story of the anime would differ from its source material. The two will at least share the same premise. Бөйрөк: Automata opens with a ruined Earth and a proxy war involving human-made androids. “Бөйрөк: Automata was a story we created to be a game, so copying it as-is wouldn’t make an interesting story for an anime,” Taro said during the panel.

A-1 Pictures, best known for its work on series like өчүп, Жаңы дүйнөдөн жана Апрелде Сиздин Lie, is producing the project, with Ryouji Masuyama co-writing the script alongside Taro. Masuyama’s previous credits include Гуррен Лаганн жана Evangelion: 2.0 Сиз алдыга жыла аласыз (жок).. “I'm the one going around and breaking things for [A-1 Pictures], so if anyone is dissatisfied [with the anime's story], it's likely to be my fault,” Taro warned fans. Given that Бөйрөк: Automata features multiple endings, it’s probably for the best the anime won’t hew too closely to the game.

The panel didn’t mention details about distribution outside of Japan. However, since Sony owns both Aniplex and Crunchyroll, there’s a good chance simulcast rights will go to the streaming service. It will be interesting to see if the anime brings renewed interest to Бөйрөк: Automata, much like the recent release of кырдуулар on Netflix did for киберпанк 2077. Commercially, Automata performed better than publisher Square Enix expected, but the company has yet to announce a proper sequel – though we did get a mobile spinoff and remaster of the original NieR last year.
